IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED LUNG-PROTECTORS AND UNDERVESTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 146,879, dated January27, 1874; application filed December 1, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Mrs. JANE CULVER, of Adrian, in the county ofLenawee and State of Michigan, have invented an Improvement inLungProtectors, of which the following is a specification:

The nature of this invention relates to certain new and usefulimprovements in the article worn by many persons with weak lungs,commonly called lung protectors and it consists in so constructing thesame that it may be easily retained in place; that one size will, bymeans of elastic fastening-s, fitpersons of difl'erent sizes. and sothat it will also take the place of and be used as an undcrvest.

Figure 1 is a perspective View of my device taken from the side providedwith fastenings. Fig. 2 is a similar view taken from the opposite side.

Like letters refer to like parts in each figure.

In the aecompan yin g drawings, A represents the front, and B the back,out from buck or other suitably-prepared skin, the front being joined tothe back at one shoulder by a seam,

a and upon the same side by means of elastic )ands b, while the oppositeside is provided with elastic straps c to engage with buttons (1, andthe shoulder-pieces are provided with elastic loops and but-tons e, tosecure the garment made to be suspended from the neck in frontof thechest, without backs, and with no way of securing them to the body. Theback should be as much protected as the chest, and this device furnishesa perfect garmeiiit for that purpose.

hat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

As a new article of manufacture, the combined undcrvest andlung-protector, provided with front A, back 13, and belt G, when theparts are constructed, arranged, and secured together, substantially asand for the purposes set forth.
